Infinix Hot 8 Launched With a 5000 mAh Battery

After the successful launch of the Infinix Hot 7 this year, the HongKong based company just announced its latest entry-level smartphone appropriately dubbed the Infinix Hot 8. For an entry-level smartphone, the Hot 8 comes with some impressive specifications and a very reasonable initial price.

Design and Display

Design-wise, this smartphone comes with a matte back, a triple sensor rear camera vertically aligned on the top left and a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. It will be available in three colors Midnight Black, Cosmic Purple, and Quetzal Cyan.

The water-drop notch display is a 6.5-inch LCD panel with HD+ (720p) resolution and a 20:9 aspect ratio.

Cameras

The vertically stacked triple sensor rear camera features a 13 MP main sensor, 2 MP depth sensor, and a low light sensor. The selfie camera is a modest 8 MP single sensor.

The whole package is fueled by a massive 5000 mAh battery which unfortunately charges over the old school MicroUSB 2.0.
